Formation mechanism of basalt-related agate deposits: an example from the Ating River alluvial gravels in the Xunke area, Heilongjiang, NE China

Formation mechanism of basalt-related agate deposits: an example from the Ating River alluvial gravels in the Xunke area, Heilongjiang, NE China

This study investigates Xunke agates from Ating River alluvial gravels (Northeast, NE China) using optical microscopy, electron probe microanalyzer mapping (EPMA), and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) to constrain the formation mechanisms of basalt-hosted agate...
